2008 Senate/House Results Thread

[JohnnyLongtorso]

C'mon guys, let's talk downballot!

Kentucky results: http://electionresults.ky.gov/KyElectWeb/kes?AC=1&L=1999

Senate: Lunsford is on target for a loss, currently up 93,684 - 92,008.

KY-2: 21 precincts in and Boswell (D) is up 3,671 - 3,164.

KY-3: Yarmuth shellacking Northup 57-43.

Looks like all the incumbents are safe in Indiana.

Kentucky seems to have stalled.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Wow, Don Cazayoux got his butt handed to him. So much for "incumbents don't lose in Louisiana".

[JohnnyLongtorso]

What's the deal on Louisiana?  Will Landrieu actually be forced into a runoff (she's only leading 50-48%)?  CNN has called the state for Landrieu, but are they aware of the fact that you need >50% to avoid a runoff there (unless state law is changed, and I somehow missed it?)?

No more runoffs in federal elections, just state elections.

The state BOE corrected the VA-05 numbers: Perriello is up by over 2,000 votes now. Also, it looks like Nye is on the verge of defeating Drake in VA-02.

Thank you, Virginia.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

I'm willing to call ID-01 for Walt Minnick. He's up by 3,600 votes with 3 precincts left in the state.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

The Virginia SBOE currently has Tom Perriello leading Virgil Goode by 31 votes. This one is going to be a while.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

I think MD-01 and OH-15 are over as well.
